London-based experimental electronic musician born in Slovakia. Working primarily with hardware synthesizers, sequencers and tape, she explores the tension between precision and unpredictability, structure and texture. Her sound moves between dilated drones, restrained rhythmic patterns and spacious, sculptural sound design, often favouring deep listening over immediacy.

Rooted in the DIY culture of late 1990s punk and early experimental scenes in Bratislava, Subrtova’s work evolved from rhythm-driven intensity toward more immersive sonic landscapes. Her practice is shaped by both the tactile intimacy of machines and an openness to the material behaviour of sound itself.Her EP Omnia was released on Bratislava-based label Urbsounds, followed by her debut album TOON on NEXT Festival Records, a sub-division of NEXT Festival. TOON was nominated for Best Experimental Music Album at the Slovak Radio Head Awards 2023.

Currently, Subrtova continues to expand her process through magnetic tape and field recordings, exploring how new compositional approaches can intersect with her sequencer-based foundations. Her work remains grounded in experimentation, presence and an ongoing dialogue between artist, machine and environment.

The concert will premiere a new work commissioned by the festival.
